Computer-readable recording medium recording program for image processing, information processing apparatus, information processing system, and image processing method

Abstract

A computer is caused to execute: acquisition of a captured image captured by an imaging device; display of an image including the captured image on a display device; and detection from the captured image, of a feature in a real space captured in the captured image, using an image for detection of the feature. In a case where the captured image acquired in the acquisition of the image captured is a reversed image, the feature is detected by performing a reverse comparison process involving: comparing the captured image with a reversed image of the image for detection; or comparing an image obtained by further reversing the captured image, with the image for detection

Description

[0001]This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority of the prior Japanese Patent Application No. JP2013-060612, filed on Mar. 22, 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD[0002]The present disclosure relates to a computer-readable recording medium recording a program for image processing, an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and an image processing method.BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY[0003]Up to now, there have been image processing techniques for recognizing a pattern in a captured image. For example, there have been image processing apparatuses for recognizing a pattern of a two-dimensional bar code.[0004]Further, in the case where the display direction of a display device on which a captured image is displayed is the same as the image capturing direction of a camera (the eye direction of a user is opposite to the image capturing direction of the camera), it is common practice to left-right reverse ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent application relates to a computer-readable recording medium, an information processing apparatus, an information processing system, and an image processing method. The technical effect of the patent is to provide a program for image processing that can detect features in a captured image, even when the image is reversed. This is achieved by comparing the captured image with a reversed image for detection, and performing a reverse comparison process to detect the feature. The program can also acquire display reference information and generate a reversed image for detection based on the reference information. The technical effect is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of image processing for augmented reality and other applications.

Problems solved by technology

If such a reversed captured image is used, it is unfortunately difficult to compare the captured image with an image for detection to detect a feature in the captured image.
